Original review summary

The photo shows Mohd Kasim, arrested on 02 July 2024 in connection with a snatching case, not the person accused of making lewd comments about Smriti Singh. The review says Kasim’s video was uploaded before the 05 July awards event, when the comments were made, so the arrest photo was unrelated to the controversy.[S1]

Additional context

On 08 July 2024, the National Commission for Women asked Delhi’s police commissioner to register an FIR and arrest the person who made the comment. [S1]
